Finally a sunny day in Texas! I thought I would celebrate by posting the one-and-only Percy Jackson short story, "Percy Jackson and the Stolen Chariot." This was originally written as a promotional piece for the release of Titan's Curse, and was available only on a special bookstore mailing list, but now you can read it here -- a little Percy to tide you over until book four. Part one of the story is below. Parts two and three will be published over the next week, so stay tuned! I hope you enjoy.

Here are the links for the short story and I may ask for permission to post the story.

Part One!

Part Two!

Part Three!

A brief description of the story:

"...in the days before Thalia's tree - back before the camp had magical boundaries to keep the monsters out - the counselorstried all sorts of different ways to protect themselves. The most famous was the bronze dragon, The Hephaestus cabin made it with the blessing of their father. Supposedly, it was so fierce and powerful that it kept the camp safe for over a decade, And then... about fifteen years ago, it disappeared into the woods".

The Sword of Hades is a short story that is expected to be released on the 5th March 2009. It will be back-to-back with Terry Deary's Horrible Histories: Groovy Greeks.

Here is a summary of what will happen in 'The Sword of Hades':

The goddess Persephone has summoned Percy, Thalia and Nico to the Underworld in order to retrieve Hades' powerful sword before it falls into the wrong hands. Easier said than done in a world full of evil daemons, ghosts and ghouls. Not to mention Iapetos - brother of the powerful Titan lord, Kronos. This time the young demigods are really up against it - will Percy manage to return the sword before it's too late?
